Salt Springs State Park

Hike to the waterfall!

Eight hundred forty-two of the most beautiful acres in Susquehanna County make up Salt Springs Park.

Taking its name from a historic artesian well of naturally salty water, Salt Springs offers the peace and beauty of streams and woodlands combined with the convenience of trails, historic farm buildings, cottages, camping, picnic grounds, open space and meeting facilities. Salt Springs is open to the public year round, without charge, from sunrise to sunset.

The park is 6 miles north of Montrose, the county seat of Susquehanna County.

The park offers a gorge with three magnificent waterfalls surrounded by a virgin hemlock forest and trails winding through 842 acres. At the base of the gorge is a bubbling salt spring, traces of an 1850s woolen mill, and mid-19th century farmhouses and barns.
